Patients planned for surgical procedures will be given a thorough physical check up and will be optimized for any co-existent medical conditions. This check up is called PAC (Pre-anesthesia check-up). This will also provide an opportunity to brief the patients regarding the options in anesthesia and methods of post operative pain relief available. We will also attempt to allay the anxieties of the patient regarding the surgery and anesthesia and respect patients’ choices. All this information will enable the anesthesiologist to plan anesthesia and post operative pain relief technique in a manner that will be best suited to a particular patient.

PAC (Pre-anesthesia check-up) is a pre-condition for safe anesthesia. Prior to administration of any type of anesthesia, the patient has to be checked up by an anesthesiologist. In pre-anesthesia check up the following are done:

Patient history and physical examination

Investigations in laboratory, imaging and others, as necessary

Set questionnaire to be answered by patient

Explaining to patient and then obtaining informed consent

Every patient who is planning for surgery must undergo PAC. This is to ensure safety of the patient. It provides an opportunity to detect and treat the patient's other medical diseases, the patient might be suffering from and to make the patient as fit as possible before the operation so that the risk involved in the operation can be minimized.

We aim to provide utmost care and monitoring of the patients in the crucial post operative period as well as patients suffering from other medical diseases (e. g. acute pancreatitis, acute myocardial infarction) to assure patients’ comfort to prevent any critical incidents.
